Having spent countless moments together in Golden Gate Park during the early days of Jenna and Brian’s relationship, the Conservatory of Flowers became a natural and nostalgic choice for their wedding. Steeped in San Francisco's history, the venue added a timeless charm to their day.
Their wedding featured lots of personal touches from the floral design artfully curated by their friend Nicole Shaffer to the Jenna’s outfit. She wore a vintage gown that she found at a boutique in Salt Lake City and had meticulously altered, adding a touch of timeless elegance to her bridal attire. Her veil, customized by her mother, became a cherished and sentimental piece, showcasing the love and craftsmanship that went into the wedding preparations. The wedding cake was a true reflection of the couple's creativity and collaboration. Inspired by the floral design contributed by their friend Nicole, the cake became a symbol of their shared vision and the meaningful connections they had formed throughout their relationship.
The ceremony, officiated by Brian's father, was a heartfelt and intimate affair as the exchanged rings in front of their guests in front of the Conservatory. Following the vows, guests were treated to cocktails and appetizers while wandering the lush rooms of the Conservatory. A delightful evening of dinner, speeches and dancing in the Conservatory of Flowers' Orchid Pavilion extended the celebration as the fog rolled in. As night fell, the Summer of Love light show enveloped the celebration in a magical atmosphere, creating a whimsical and festive ambiance that added an extra touch of enchantment to this unforgettable wedding day.
